Understatement of the century. Hawks parents are unbearable and completely unhinged. It is quite the sight.

True is going to buy out every other program. It's going to be like in Demolition Man when the only restaurant left was Taco Bell.

🤣😂🤣

But Probably True (Ha!) We were at aTournament in Delaware last Month and almost all of the teams were True Teams.

(4) How many top 10 teams has MadLax beaten in the last year or so?

(5) How did NextLevel hang 15 goals on MadLax in a playoff game, especially if NextLevel's attack is suspect? That is a huge number of goals for two sixth grade teams that are relatively evenly matched. Serious question - were the goals in transition, EMO, how did they happen?

(6) If MadLax Dads are honest with yourselves, does Cabell's coaching hurt the team? If (as you say) MadLax is more talented and more worthy of national ranking than NextLevel, how has NextLevel managed to win head to head fairly consistently? In the games I have seen, Cabell's screaming at the refs has cost the team calls, and screaming at the kids has made them tighten up and not play their best. Would you admit that is a factor?

(7) one of the prior posts dissected the NL roster, but doesn't the MadLax roster have its own weaknesses - face offs, goaltending, and lack of depth at midfield? They seem to rely awfully heavily on one player.

(8) any chance of players moving between the two teams at summer tryouts? That could be a game changer!

1/4 of the current ML roster will be at NL tryouts tonight!!! CM will be there also taking notes while hiding in bushes.
Nobody wants to play for NL. The one team who could pick up some players is BLC. Room for some good players to come in and make a difference.

I’ve heard the few stronger players BLC had have moved to NL and NL retained its core at tryouts so NL should stay in the mix next year but I don’t think they significantly improved. I doubt BLC will even attempt to play at elite next year. I’ve also heard one significant NL departure for ML is in the works that would improve ML.

Until 2way steps into a tourney against the likes of Venom/ Hawks/ etc they shouldn’t be on any list. Never seen a club duck top tier completion like they do. They’ve beat 3DNE and Express North, and a super-down NL team. But that’s as far into the pool as they will dip

2 Way is legit. 3 very strong middies that can create and score. 2 of them are among the very best midfielders in the 2028 class. Definitely a top 10 team.

(My hot take is that KP 2028 is a great squad and it's not smart to disband it....this year).

Parents were getting nervous about the kids needing more "exposure" for their supposedly obvious future MIAA careers in 3+ years.

One KP dad coach took 8-10 of the boys a few weeks ago and committed them all to 91, you know, the "we don't cut anyone" club who already has 29 on the roster, including the 8-10 who came with the Swarm dad coach 10 months ago (stinks to be those kids at this moment).

The rest of the KP parents - overall - have a unique outlook that their sons should easily make Crabs or FCA Blue, and if not, they can get on the FCA White, Team 91, or Predator rosters (I'm sure I'm missing a few) without even trying out, because kP eLiTe.

Tryouts for all of those teams are over in a week (in fact tryouts for almost all of them are at the same times and dates!), so we shall see if the KP lax moms were correct.... or if they all mostly up at Koopers, LTLC, and the new KP AAA team that will arise from combining KP elite and KP-B.

Any truth to the rumor that BLC blue might fold or combine with the orange team? That team is starting to fall apart like KP. Both teams probably would have been better off not playing elite and losing so much.

Don't care about holdbacks/7th graders. But agree with previous poster who raved about 2Way's midfield. Two of them are stronger, faster, quicker, and possess better on the run shots than all of the 2028 middies in HoCo. Not an exaggeration. And they had a d middie who was physically ready to play MLB in HS football. It *would* make me feel better to know that they were older (rising 8th graders) b/c they were athletically (and lacrosse skill-wise) superior to anything I've seen at the 28 level this summer or in HoCo.

Yeah hang your hat on a game in November when ML didn’t have literally half their starting 9 in the field for football playoffs. They’ve never come close to beating ML prior, or since.
Ex North is second tier. 2 Way must be eating their lunch for the local players

Hard to take your opinion seriously as you are obviously a parent of a kid on the team who is pretending to be a third party. Literally no one else is watching 2Way or any other team's middies closely and regularly enough to have detailed breakdowns of them. Sorry no one else cares enough to talk about your kid's team.

someone from a NY tournament listed that 2Way was caught using a 2026 player this summer. Purely rumor, but that would make you wonder…

They have supposedly used players in the 7th grade in 2028 tournaments.

That would be garbage.

holdbacks are whatever - fine. Who cares it’s normal.

But using 7th graders is weak.

Aside from that they do have a high level amount of holdbacks on their roster so they’d fit right in down in HoCo.

While we are on the topic - mad dog national runs a kid out there who looks 15.

Not the previous poster but I also saw the 2Way middies everyone is talking about this summer. You don’t need to watch long for them to stand out. Not huge, but quick and very advanced skill wise. BBL also has a very fine midfielder, but people aren’t lying in their assessment of 2Way midfield. Rest of the team is pretty meh though.

Must be a CT thing. Both EN and 2Way rocking the 7th graders.

Although lots of parents/clubs from up north seem to think this is OK due to “plans to repeat the 8th grade.”

It’s just weird man.

8-10 committed to 91 before try-outs? I find that funny. A lot were at Crabs try-outs last night. If any of those 8-10 are attack they will be sitting behind the dad ball coaches sons on 91.

Were those football playoffs happening in MD, TX and NH? sorry, it gets confusing anytime ML parent talks about roster. But fair point ML easily beat EN in Delaware with the summer rentals.

Haha. Sorry to burst your bubble. Parent w/ 28 on HoCo team. Watched 2Way play twice last weekend at Hershey. Two games enough to objectively compare them against other middies our kids have played.

Yes, but they cheat. I am not talking about holdbacks. They have legit 7th graders on their team. These are 6th graders we are talking about on this board and over at the NY board, not 7th graders (I am not talking about age at all). And they double roster during tournaments. When their 2027 team loses earlier in a tourney, they come down to 2028 as ringers. Excellent talent no doubt but they should stay back or play on grade.

(My hot take is that KP 2028 is a great squad and it's not smart to disband it....this year).

Parents were getting nervous about the kids needing more "exposure" for their supposedly obvious future MIAA careers in 3+ years.

One KP dad coach took 8-10 of the boys a few weeks ago and committed them all to 91, you know, the "we don't cut anyone" club who already has 29 on the roster, including the 8-10 who came with the Swarm dad coach 10 months ago (stinks to be those kids at this moment).

The rest of the KP parents - overall - have a unique outlook that their sons should easily make Crabs or FCA Blue, and if not, they can get on the FCA White, Team 91, or Predator rosters (I'm sure I'm missing a few) without even trying out, because kP eLiTe.

Tryouts for all of those teams are over in a week (in fact tryouts for almost all of them are at the same times and dates!), so we shall see if the KP lax moms were correct.... or if they all mostly up at Koopers, LTLC, and the new KP AAA team that will arise from combining KP elite and KP-B.
8-10 committed to 91 before try-outs? I find that funny. A lot were at Crabs try-outs last night. If any of those 8-10 are attack they will be sitting behind the dad ball coaches sons on 91.

I'm a KP dad. Very proud of what the team has accomplished over the last 2 years especially and nobody cares that their tournament schedule is "soft" when they are winning 5-7 tournaments a year. Some of us floated an idea to create a "Hard Shells" Crabs team from our squad but the majority of parents this week clearly felt like their sons had a pretty easy shot to get on the Crabs roster. I guess we'll see.

And the 8 (not 10) kids already going to 91 are at all positions. Attack too.

They are at NLF this weekend so check back in two days.

Don't care about holdbacks/7th graders. But agree with previous poster who raved about 2Way's midfield. Two of them are stronger, faster, quicker, and possess better on the run shots than all of the 2028 middies in HoCo. Not an exaggeration. And they had a d middie who was physically ready to play MLB in HS football. It *would* make me feel better to know that they were older (rising 8th graders) b/c they were athletically (and lacrosse skill-wise) superior to anything I've seen at the 28 level this summer or in HoCo.

Hard to take your opinion seriously as you are obviously a parent of a kid on the team who is pretending to be a third party. Literally no one else is watching 2Way or any other team's middies closely and regularly enough to have detailed breakdowns of them. Sorry no one else cares enough to talk about your kid's team.

Haha. Sorry to burst your bubble. Parent w/ 28 on HoCo team. Watched 2Way play twice last weekend at Hershey. Two games enough to objectively compare them against other middies our kids have played.

The issue with 2way is they have players who just wrapped up their 7th grade year but are re-classing come September. They haven’t officially become 2028 yet. It’s splitting hairs but lame if you ask me.

Yep, this is happening.

What happened here? Is BLC imploding also?

It’s just weird man.
My kid well on age, very young for his grade. But I have no issue with kids having been held back (particularly for preK reasons). But pulling kids down while they’re still in 7th or 8th grade is cheating. Holding your kid back is not cheating. But if you’re gonna do it, at least wait until he’s in the 2028 class before you play him there…. Jeez
